In the modern world, having one or even several tattoos on your body has long ceased to be something out of the ordinary, but some people want to stand out so much that they are completely "clogged".
It is noteworthy that the application of dozens of tattoos in 90% of cases is accompanied by other modifications: an abundance of piercings, a split tongue, subcutaneous implants, etc.
Today in the next collection of amazing people we will tell (and of course show) the most tattooed women and men that the world has ever seen.
10. Maria Jose Cristerna - “The Vampire Woman”
Mexican Maria Jose Kristerna is now over 40 years old, and most of her life she walks in the guise of a vampire. P
Having tested and not appreciating married life at 17, the girl decided to start expressing herself: applying a tattoo, a bunch of piercings, implants on her skull, fangs and huge tunnels in her ears.
Having spent a lot of time and money, the woman achieved hers: now she is so alone in the whole world, so there is a lot of attention to her.
Despite all her extravagance, she is a happy mother of 4 children, and also has a law degree. True, working in her specialty did not work out because of her extraordinary appearance.
9. Tom Leppard - “Leopard Man”
For some time Tom Leppard was officially considered the most tattooed man on the planet, and later - the most tattooed senior citizen.
Despite the desire to resemble a leopard, Tom himself always claimed that he had no spiritual or other connection with this animal, and he chose this style of tattoo solely because he wanted to facilitate the work of tattoo artists.
The leopard man died in 2016 at the age of 80, having spent the last years of his life in a nursing home.
8. Tommy Wells (Tommy Wells) - the most tattooed man in the UK
This man was “clogged” for 52 years, visiting the tattoo parlor with varying frequency.
According to him, he always wanted to completely cover himself with tattoos, but his wife kept him from doing this. “She was my voice of reason,” says Tommy Wills. After his wife passed away, nothing could hold him back and he hit hard, bringing the number of tattoos on his body to an incredible number of 1,000.
The drawings on the body have no single plot: this is a mishmash of skulls, the names of relatives, knives, flowers and other things.
7. Etienne Dumont - “a monster with glasses”
Dumont was born on June 27, 1948 and since childhood gravitated to art, so he decided to become an art critic, and after that - a critic. He made his first tattoo in 1979, and after that he could not stop.
In total, 95% of his body is covered: only his eyelids, palms, feet and genitals remained intact. Etienne's “trick”, in addition to modifications, is round glasses, sometimes without glasses and an “acidic” color.
6. Gregory Paul Mclaren (Gregory Paul Mclaren), aka Lucky Diamond Rich
Lucky Diamond Rich is the same person who took Tom Leppard's record for the number of tattoos. Everything is “clogged” with him, including the genitals, ears, eyelids and even the oral cavity.
When there was no more space on the body for new drawings, Gregory Paul Maclaren began to apply them with a second layer, covering dark tattoos with light, and also adding color to black and white pictures.
5. Rick Genest - “Zombie Boy”
The zombie fight made the first tattoo as early as 15 years, after which he began to apply dozens of them. On his body were more than 130 drawings of bones, and more than 170 - insects, and for each item he was listed in the Guinness Book of Records.
The popularity came to him after his fan page was created on Facebook and they began to actively subscribe to it, which allowed Rick to attract attention.
He was noticed by the fashion director Lady Gaga, who pushed him to several fashion shows and to the singer’s music video. On August 1, 2018, Rick Genest died, according to the official version, he committed suicide at the age of 32.
4.
Michelle cannot be called the most tattooed woman on the planet: there is a lot of free space on her body, and the modifications on her body are not as radical as those of others, but this did not stop her from becoming famous all over the world.
The main reason is not even in tattoos and nude photo shoots, but in the affair with Sandra Bullock's husband - Jesse James. The already popular tattoo model, in the wake of hype, it soared to an unprecedented height, and is not going to go down yet.
3. Julia Gnuse (Julia Gnuse) - a girl with porphyria
And this lady, in contrast to McGee's Bomb, is indeed the most tattooed woman on the planet: her body was "clogged" by 95%. After 30 years, she became ill with porphyria (a disease in which blisters form on the skin from the sun), she tried to hide the scars with drawings, and when that didn’t work, she decided to make so many tattoos that people simply did not pay attention to the scars when they saw them.
Illustrated Lady, as she was called in the press, died in 2016.
2. Denis Avner - Denis Avner
A programmer by profession, Denis Avner did everything to resemble a cat, which was the totem animal of his ancestors from the Lakota and Huron tribes.
He himself did not even know how much money he spent on this, but some independent estimates called the amounts over half a million dollars.
He died in 2012, and although officially the cause of death was not disclosed, most sources support the version of suicide.
1. Erik Sprague - “the lizard man”
Eric, despite his youth (he was born in 1972, much later than many heroes of the rating), is considered the founder of the ideas of body modding.
For example, he was the first who decided to grind his teeth, making them look like sharp teeth of a lizard. Later, he also cut his tongue, added silicone implants to his eyebrows, and covered the whole body with a pattern in the form of scales (although there are other tattoos).
He earns a living by performing, but he does not just show himself, but arranges a whole show with swallowing swords, fire, and other dangerous tricks.
He also has a bachelor's degree in philosophy, so there is always something to talk about with him and during his speeches he makes good jokes.
